Physical activity

NARI continues to do extensive research into the impact that physical health may have on healthy ageing including our brain health.

Stand Up and Go

Stand Up and Go is investigating whether reducing sitting time and/or increasing physical activity may help people reduce their risk of cognitive decline. Project leader for Stand Up and Go is Professor Nicola Lautenschlager. We are currently recruiting for this project. For recruitment information, click here.

The ENJOY trial: Exercise interveNtion outdoor proJect in the cOmmunitY

Active ageing in the outdoors for seniors – the Senior Exercise Park: working together for a healthier world. Creating inclusive and accessible outdoor environments that encourage and provide opportunities for older adults to engage in physical activity and social interaction is critical for healthy ageing.

Camping for Change

The primary aim of this project is to use the camp setting to help seniors flourish. We will offer an outdoor education program in a residential camp setting for 20 culturally diverse older people. Camps will offer a vibrant learning environment, which will stretch participants’ personal resources in demanding but stimulating ways.
